I've been pretty much on the borderline of being a hardcore gamer and a casual gamer, if anything, since I was a kid. I own and have played all three of the previous installments of the Super Smash Bros. series, and have enjoyed each one. My first time and experience with a Smash Tournament was back in 2008, on another gaming forum site I joined within that same year, as part of a clan war that was held.
I am exceptionally skilled with Yoshi in Melee and Brawl (primarily Brawl now) from my home state of Tennessee, so it's no surprise that I main him for the most part. That trend will without doubt continue in the 3DS and Wii U games. Now that I'm here and a part of the community, I'm overall very excited and can't wait to bring my beastly green dino game to the table.
Aside from Smash, I'm extremely addicted to the Pokemon series as I own almost every single game from the main series from Gen 1 to Gen 6, plus a few spinoff titles such as Colosseum, Gale of Darkness, Trading Card Game and Pinball on the Gameboy Color, and Battle Revolution. However, I'm not just into Pokemon alone. I'm also into Sonic (2nd series I'm heavily addicted to), Mario (3rd heavily addicted series), Kirby, Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Star Fox, and a couple of others.
